LongevityMap variant
- Longevity Association
- Non-significant
- Population
- American (Caucasian)
- Study Design
- A genome-wide linkage scan on human longevity was performed in 279 families with multiple long-lived siblings
- Conclusions
- One locus on chromosome 9q31-34 was borderline significant and a peak on 12q24 was detected in a subset of the data. There was also modest evidence for a peak on 4q22-25.

- Common name
- tumor protein p53
- Description
- This gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein containing transcriptional activation, DNA binding, and oligomerization domains. The encoded protein responds to diverse cellular stresses to regulate expression of target genes, thereby inducing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, senescence, DNA repair, or changes in metabolism. Mutations in this gene are associated with a variety of human cancers, including hereditary cancers such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Alternative splicing of this gene and the use of alternate promoters result in multiple transcript variants and isoforms. Additional isoforms have also been shown to result from the use of alternate translation initiation codons from identical transcript variants (PMIDs: 12032546, 20937277).
